This month is a real challenge since Mister and I were travelling around the South Island of New Zealand in a small wagon type campervan called the Spaceship. I wanted to keep it really simple and not get too stress about it. I am, afterall, on a holiday! Plus I had very limited seasoning and very basic kitchen outfit in holiday parks.

For the entree, I sourced most of the ingredients from Waipara Valley Farmers Market. It is such a tiny market with only about 10 stalls. I did a quick run as it was closing in 20mins and there was hardly time to stop and chat with the locals. But I still manage to pick up some good stuff for the travels. The biggest plus is everything in the market is very affordable.

I bought this bread called Swiss Sunday bread. It was delicious! It is a milk base bread and is quite dense. And also it keeps for awhile before turning hard. Great with eggs and bacon. YUM! Also the olive oil man is awesome. He makes his own and you can come with your own bottle and top it up from the silver tin can. How cool!

You must wondering why a packet of corn pretz is amongst the fresh ingredients? You shall find out soon.

There was just a lot of slicing. And Mister helped with the sausages. Team work rocks!

Method:

Thinly sliced the radish and julienne the fennel and borsch pear and place aside. Only slowly sauté the baby leeks till translucent in colour. Set aside

Pan fry all the sausages and set aside

Combine the salad ingredients including the baby leeks with the lemon infused olive oil. Then top it up with the crumble, salty and crunchy peko sticks

Lightly season accordingly. Place all the ingredients together

Both of us just wolfed this down. So hungry by the time this was made!

The people in the communal kitchen did look at me strange. I was trying my best to slice the radish and fennel as thinly as I can with a cheap knife. And then taking photos after? Like plating and taking photos? It was all too strange for them. What would you have thought to yourself ?

Cooking AND photographing while on holiday? Aren’t there rules about that? Congrats on the great cutting job using a cheap knife.
